Mark Zuckerberg guest stars on “The Simpsons”; another point of “View”; Brad Pitt, zombies and “World War Z”…

Mark Zuckerberg Guests on “The Simpsons”: Mark Zuckerberg has been Simpson-ized. The co-founder of popular social networking website Facebook will appear in an episode of “The Simpsons.” The episode, titled “Loan-A-Lisa,” is expected to air in October right around the time of the release of “Social Network,” a film directed by David Fincher about the controversial start-up days of the website.

Another Point of “View”: The ladies of “The View” will have a little competition next year from a chat fest on CBS. The network recently gave the green light for a daytime talk show featuring six moms–Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete, Leah Remini, and Marissa Jaret Winokur–discussing current events. The talk show fills a slot on the network that will be left by “As the World Turns,” which comes to end in September. [OMG]

Turner Buys “Inception”: It’s still at the movie theater but cable company Turner has already snagged the television rights to “Inception.” The sci-fi thriller, which topped the box office in its first week by earning over $60 million, will air on TNT between 2012 and 2013. [Variety]

Brad Pitt and Zombies: Brad Pitt is attached to the zombie flick “World War Z.” The Oscar-nominated actor’s production company purchased the rights to the film three years ago and he was long rumored to be attached as a star. On Wednesday at Comic-Con in San Diego, the author of the graphic novel confirmed to MTV that Brad Pitt will indeed star in the movie and the studios expect a summer 2012 release. [MTV]
